Module: PRVT-OSPF-MIB

OID (symbolic): PRVT-OSPF-MIB::prvtOspfRouterId

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.738.1.6.4.2.1.1

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: IpAddress

Access: read-write

Description: A 32-bit integer uniquely identifying the router in the Autonomous System. By convention, to ensure uniqueness, this should default to the value of one of the router's IP interface addresses.

What is prvtOspfRouterId?

This is the 32-bit OSPF Router ID that uniquely identifies this router within its Autonomous System; by convention it defaults to one of the router's own IP interface addresses. Admins commonly set this explicitly to a stable loopback address so the router's OSPF identity doesn't change if a physical interface goes down.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.738.1.6.4.2.1.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> PRVT-OSPF-MIB::prvtOspfRouterId

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.738.1.6.4.2.1.1.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> PRVT-OSPF-MIB::prvtOspfRouterId.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.738.1.6.4.2.1.1.1 a <value>

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> prvtOspfRouterId.1
